Hi, Male2Female.
I'll let the heavy-hitters give you detail but general consensus seems to be, you'll likely be overdoing it and clog your estrogen receptors.
I'd wager part of why woman has a cycle, is to use progesterone to unlock the estrogen receptors. Then, there's a new pulse of estrogen to bind... And repeat, once a month for about 30 years. ;-)
Also, you do NOT want to go over about 4 mg for estrogens, as it adds to clotting. (E.G., many mammals eat the placenta after giving birth - the estrogen his the liver, the liver produces clotting factors, the blood flow from birthing is staunched, the mother survives.)
8 mg/day will leave you vulnerable to DVT, Deep Vein thrombosis, or clots in the legs. In the legs, not so bad; they can break free and migrate to the brain (stroke) or heart (heart attack.)
Abi Drew was a REAL geek about these things. You should look up her thread (in her signature) - try page 30, I think it was, where she has the chart of a female cycle. Very informative, and if you want to cycle, it'll give you a basis of working things out.
And LISTEN, for GOD'S SAKES!
I KNOW you wan to develop "yesterday." We all do! "Happiness doesn't come from having what you want, but wanting what you have." Issue is, dealing with a dysmorphia, they become the same thing - and you want to be validated by the boys at your age, no doubt. (doesn't mean sex, but there's a validation in who you are when they look and smile, ya know? And when the girls look and give you the stink-eye because you're prettier.)
Don't be a pretty corpse!
Take the time. They have an advantage, but they hate themselves: too tall, too skinny, big feet, big boobs, no boobs, no hips, etc, etc, etc! You'll catch up if you take it slow. You might not if you try to overdo!
